Codeigniter - using session data in view
Controller code:
public function index() { ... $data['first_name'] = $this->session->userdata('first_name'); ...}View code:
<?= $first_name; ?>OR, if you want to pass the data like you currently are, you would access the view data userdata as an array, not a function, ie:
<?= $userdata['first_name'];?>
As I mentioned in the comments , when you assign a value to array $data and pass it through Codeigniter view loader , the data will be available in the view part with variable names same to the array indexes.
for example when you do this:
$data['name'] = "bla bla";$this->load->view('some_view', $data); then the $name variable in the view will contain your passed value. In your case you are assigning an array to $data['userdata']. so the $userdata in the view will an array too.
So do like this:
echo $userdata['firstname'];echo $userdata['lastname']; in the view part.
